Are you using the Divx 5.02 codec or FFDSHOW playback filter for divx playback?

Re: WMP 9 Xvid and Divx

I have now formatted my PC totally douring the weekend and started all over again and installed things i got working before the format of my PC.

And now i have reached a solution i can live with:

BSplasyer will Playback XVID Movies with sound and everything
Windows Medie Player 9 Will playback DivX allso with sound.

But WMP 9 refuses to play Xvid and BSplayer refuses to play DivX, what can cause that situation????

Do you ffdshow installed or the divx 5.02 playback filter? What error does BSPLAYER produce when you try to play divx.

Re: Divx 5.02 and BSP

I have the 5.02 filter witch comes vith the SLD codec pack v. 1.3 and when im trying to playback a DivxMovie in BSplayer shows it 5-15 frames and then freezes between 2 frames for several seconds and then it moves to an other frame and shows 5-15 more and makes the same stunt.

And all program like Gspot says there should be no problems, witch i dont understand when my picture looks as it does.

But im trying to install the Tsunami pack 3_9_7 later today in case that could solve my problems.

Uninstall the SLD CODEC PACK, and from the TSUNAMI CODEC PACK conduct a custom install, installing on the codecs you actually need.

Seeing how highly ppl in here are talking about bsplayer, I downloaded it. Now, where exactly do I download the XviD codec from? I'm only interested in playback. Thanks

[divxdude]

you can find the XviD codec in the software section of this website.

Make sur eyou get Koepi's version, i think thats his name, his version i have found works beter then nic's.

[eespinosa]

I downloaded and used ffdshow for viewing the Xvid file. Now, I'm having trouble opening a div3 formatted file. Time for another search!

video lan

I use the old windows media player, and lately the nimo codec pack hasnt been working on a lot of media files, and i refuse to update the player cause i just hate the newer version. I have never tried BSplayer but i use Video Lan when files wont work and so far it seems to play everything.

try it out. you dont need any codecs at all
